Hey folks,
I did a search, but came up dry.
I'm looking for a program to track maintenance (and inventory) for a company that operates MD500's and Bell 407's across 3 different bases. In the past, we used SkyBooks which does everything as far as actual MX tracking, but they don't do work orders or purchase orders. The worst thing about them is how slow the program works. Every time you click a field with the mouse, it thinks for a few seconds. If you're changing an engine and all the subcomponents, then it takes so long that it logs you out for inactivity before you finish.
We started to switch to AvTrak (Camp systems) but they don't seem to be very Rotorcraft friendly. Their Cycles are linked to Landings and they don't have fields to track RIN or Torque Events. Some of our components are tracked solely by RIN, so this creates a problem for us.
Anyone around these forums use software that will fit our needs? So far, my own spreadsheets are the best way for component tracking, but we've increased our fleet by 3 birds in 2013 (10 total) and it's a pain keeping them organized.
